Members of Ukrainian feminist group Femen staged protests across
Europe as they called for a "topless jihad." The demonstrations were in
support of a young Tunisian activist named Amina Tyler. Last month,
Tyler posted naked images of herself online, with the words "I own my
body; it's not the source of anyone's honor" written on her bare chest.
The head of Tunisia's "Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and
Prevention of Vice," reportedly called for Tyler to be stoned to death
for her putatively obscene actions, lest they lead to an epidemic.
Tyler
has since gone quiet, leading some to fear for her safety. Below are
images from Femen's protests today in Sweden, Italy, Ukraine, Belgium,
and France.
